The flame-retardants of this invention were formed by the direct reaction of ethyleneamines and commercial polyphosphoric acid at an elevated temperature. It was unexpected that a high temperature had to be used to overcome reaction barrier to formation. These compounds are found to be efficient flame retardants.

Fabrics that are exhibit water repellency, abrasion resistance, and optionally flame resistance are described herein. The fabrics include a plurality of fibers (such as flame resistant fibers) and a finish that imparts water repellency and abrasion resistance to the fibers. The fabrics are free or substantially free from alkylfluoropolymers. Also described herein are garments including the fabrics.

The present invention relates to a carbon-based fiber sheet and a lithium-sulfur battery including the same.

The carbon-based fiber sheet for the lithium-sulfur battery according to the present invention is doped with a high concentration of nitrogen and thus plays a role of preventing diffusion by adsorbing lithium polysulfide eluted from a positive electrode during charging and discharging, thereby suppressing a shuttle reaction and thus improving capacity and lifecycle properties of the lithium-sulfur battery.

A process for the production of an oxidized polymer from a tetrakis hydroxyalkyl phosphonium compound comprising NH.sub.3 or at least one nitrogen compound comprising at least one NH.sub.2 or at least two NH groups, or NH.sub.3, comprising the steps of: (a) reacting at least one tetrakis hydroxyalkyl phosphonium compound with NH.sub.3 or at least one nitrogen compound in order to obtain a precondensate, wherein the molar ratio of the tetrakis hydroxyakyl phosphonium compound to the nitrogen compound is in the range of 1: (0.05 to 2.0), preferably in the range of 1: (0.5 to 1.5), particularly preferably in the range of 1: (0,65 to 1.2), (b) crosslinking the precondensate obtained in process step (a) with the aid of ammonia to form a crosslinked polymer, (c) oxidizing the crosslinked polymer obtained in step (b) by adding an oxidizing agent to the oxidized polymer, wherein, in step (b), the precondensate from step (a) and the ammonia are each injected by means of a nozzle into a reactor space enclosed by a reactor housing onto a common collision point.
